The Zotero and LaTeX page of our Zotero web guide summarises the main things to know to use Zotero with LaTeX. ![]() Classic Anglo-Saxon styles, such as the Chicago or the Harvard styles, are also available. Of course, there are many different bibliographic styles available, for various fields, journals or languages: numeric styles (with just a number inside square brackets in the text, and a list of references at the end of the document or chapter) generally used in STEM fields, or author-date styles, more commonly used in economics or the social sciences. An extension called Better BibTeX for Zotero makes it even more compatible with BibTeX, by automatically creating citation keys for the documents, or synchronizing the BibTeX files with the Zotero library. BibDesk works only on Mac, while JabRef works on MacOS, Windows and Linux.īut even if Zotero uses another format, it can easily export files in a BibTeX format. JabRef and BibDesk are using BibTeX as their native formats, which makes them of course particularly interesting for LaTeX users. All three are open source and can create BibTeX files. They can alternatively use a citation manager such as Zotero, JabRef or BibDesk. They can either export the references directly in a BibTeX format from many databases (including Google Scholar, NBER, or the Graduate Institute Repository), and paste them in their. The citation key is lariviere_oligopoly_2015.įor obvious reasons, most users prefer to avoid entering the metadata manually. tex file, using a citation key which identifies them.Ī BibTeX bibliographic entry can look like = , bib extension, which will be included in the same folder as the main.

Several additional tools have been created to make the use of LaTeX (slightly) easier. This is why researchers using maths (mathematicians, economists, physicists and more) usually adopt it. ![]() LaTeX is particularly convenient for mathematical expressions. It separates the document from the style, so it is easier to change the appearance of the document. The main difference between LaTeX and a text-processing program like Word, LibreOffice or Pages, is that the LaTeX users enter plain text, without formatting, and the formatting is done by a LaTeX compiler. LaTeX is a markup-based tool to create documents. I want to cite an online news article, i.e. How can they cite their sources? Our citation managers specialist Catherine Brendow has some clues. Citing an online news article using BibLaTeX. Economists (and others) at the Graduate Institute need a tool such as LaTeX to insert mathematical expressions in their thesis. ![]() Writing articles in LaTeX has never been an easy process, but I find that between BibDesk and BibTeX, it’s much improved.Sometimes Word or Libre Office just won’t do. See the following screenshot for a demo: Open a Google Scholar search in BibDesk, and in the pane right below it are all the BibTeX links with easy iTunes-style “import” buttons right there ready to populate your BibTeX database. So when I noticed that BibDesk can view Google scholar results and automatically parse the BibTeX links, I was hooked. But beyond that, I like that it just works, and it gives a link to BibTeX and your local library (both features can be set in the preferences). I use Google Scholar quite a bit, for one, I like the Google attitude toward user interfaces. There have been a lot of reviews, most of them positive of course… what’s not to like about open-source native cocoa applications that “do the right thing”? I wanted to post here, just in case readers haven’t seen it or heard about it, but also to highlight one of the coolest new features in the latest version: automagic citation retrieval from the web. First off, it works with BibTeX (in fact it’s file structure is BibTeX). There is a lot to like about the BibDesk citation manager.
